  • Secret Wars Season 6

    Secret Wars Season 6

    Taking a Stand

    As an African American man myself, the tragic events that led to the death of George Floyd have affected me in a personal manner that I’m sure many others can relate to. It’s not easy being black in this world, but I have to say, in 2018, when Black Panther came out, I saw something amazing.

    A black-led superhero movie that quickly became the highest grossing superhero film at the time. That was a time where being black and being a Marvel fan went hand in hand. That being said, I’ve retooled Season 6 of Secret Wars to focus on Black Panther, and remind us of a time where people of all races united to celebrate this cinematic and cultural phenomenon.

    And to show my support to all people of color, for every Agent, S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA, that participates in Season 6 of Secret Wars, I will donate $1 to the NAACP. Black lives do matter, and now is our chance to prove it! Wakanda Forever!

    Allies

    Allies for Season 6 are as follows. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents will have the support of the Vibranium powered hero, King of Wakanda, the Black Panther! Agents of HYDRA can count on the support of the villainous usurper Killmonger!

    Adjusted Dates

    Please note that due to the retooling of Season 6, the dates have been adjusted. This Season will end on June 30, but begins June 10! So this Season of Secret Wars is only 20 days! Plan accordingly!

    Have Fun!

    The world is hurting, but we can still have some fun True Believers! So long as we act like the heroes I know you are, and keep the real world issues in our hearts and minds. So Face Front, and I’ll see you in the Secret Wars!

  • (Almost) All the Avengers (Maybe) Survived (Possibly)!

    Okay, so this theory actually came from my brother, which is odd because he doesn’t comic book, like at all. I won’t say that, he’s a DC fan that straddles the line between casual and hardcore, he knows his stuff, but if you go too deep, you’ll lose him.

    Anyhow, I noted that the only color in the flashbacks of the decimated Avengers that you could see was red. Then he said that maybe it was because the Reality Stone is red and that they all were transported to a different reality when they blew into dust.

    I was stunned, it’s actually a pretty good guess! I mean, matter can’t be created or destroyed, only transported. So that’s completely plausible! Although poor Vision didn’t get decimated, he just got the Mind Stone pulled right out of his head. So… he might be gone gone. Poor Vision.

  • Welcome to Marvel City

    Hasbro, eat your heart out! Welcome to the future! Welcome, to Marvel City! I had time, I was bored, so why not?

    Looks like All-New, All-Different Spider-Man has a bird’s eye of the entire scene below!

    A city of heroes…

    Bound by honor…

    To protect it at all costs!

    Captain America, Sentinel of Liberty and the First Avenger, never relents in the fight against the forces of HYDRA!

    Black Bolt has something to say, and when he talks, people listen!

    Wasp patrols the skies, while Thor summons strength from Odin in Asgard above! And Star-Lord’s always ready for action! But where’d his tunes go?

    Of course, no one stands a chance when Iron Man and War Machine team up to take down the bad guys!

    Lifelong friends Spider-Woman and Captain Marvel are two women you DO NOT want to mess with! Unless you want a venom blast and a cosmic punch to the face! And is that Vision phasing through the ground behind them?

    Speaking of Venom, what rock did this Sinister Symbiote crawl from under?

    Falcon soars high, but a particularly sneaky Black Cat gets away with some pilfered goods! Oh Felicia, will you ever learn?

    By the Ruby Rings of the Crimson Bands of the Hoary Hosts… Whatever! Doctor Strange is here to make with the hocus pocus!

    Black Widow gives Hawkeye a lift on her sweet ride, they always worked better as a team! Let’s just hope that Ms. Marvel can stop fangirling long enough to Embiggen!

    ‘Ol J. Jonah Jameson isn’t too happy with all these superheroes tearing things up outside of Bugle offices! It doesn’t help that Giant-Man is mocking him either…

    There are tales… legends of a Spirit of Vengeance… The Ghost Rider, making the best of a deal with the devil!

    What did Deadpool get himself into this time? Maybe a certain Infinity Gauntlet-wielding Mad Titan wasn’t too fond of Lady Death’s fascination with this clown…

    Looks like the newest Spider-Man on the block, Miles Morales, snagged a classic Spidey baddy, the Shocker! Great job Miles!

    Meanwhile, the Immortal Iron Fist has engaged the terrible Taskmaster in combat! Don’t use your best moves Danny, you know he can copy them!

    Storm and Silk watch over the city, a valiant long-time member of the X-Men, and a Spider trying to find her place in the world after 10 years away…

    Bravery is not measured in size, and Rocket and Baby Groot prove that throwing down with one of the biggest Marvel villains out there, the Rhino!

    But there are always bigger Marvel villains, lurking in the distance…

    But here to protect his city is none other than Daredevil! Keeping a watchful… ear, from above! And Spider-Gwen aka Ghost Spider doesn’t look stressed, she’s listening to the latest hit from her band the Mary Janes! Wait… there’s Star-Lord’s tunes! Dang it Gwen!

    But down below, titans clash, as Hulk pins down one of his worst foes, the Abomination!

    This Marvel power couple knows no bounds, Cyclops and Phoenix are always here to save the day, and mutant-kind!

    And bow down (wait, they don’t do that there…) for the King of Wakanda, Black Panther! With Okoye by his side, nothing’s getting past him! Wakanda forever!

    So there you have it. Heroes…

    That swore to fight.

    To stand for justice.

    To Assemble. In our darkest hours.

    And to let us know, that they will always be here.

     

     

  • Black Panther Homework Be Like…

    Ya’ll know it’s true! You need that context around those #Killmonger speeches! #BlackPanther #WakandaForever

  • Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Breakdown

    So I’m sure we’ve all seen the Avengers: Infinity War trailer (over, and over again). Now let’s go over what exactly we saw (over, and over again)! Bullet point time! You know I love my bullet points! Also, if for some weird reason you haven’t seen it, SPOILERS for Thor: Ragnarok ahead!

    • We open with Nick Fury’s “There was an idea…” speech from The Avengers, with everyone tagging in, and a slow piano riff of the Avengers theme… Yeah, immediate shot for the feels.

    • We see a sad, distraught Tony. Maybe his Age of Ultron nightmare coming true? That’s exactly what I think of when I see him like this.

    • Strange and Wong found Bruce in a hole!

    • Well, no more speculation on that Vision/Scarlet Witch romance. He even made himself a real boy and everything! You know, aside from that glaring Infinity Stone in his forehead. He probably has to wear a hat when they go on dates… And I have officially put too much thought into this. Moving on.

    • What is Thor looking at? Are those windows on the Milano? Or a condensed version of Yggdrasil? We know Asgard is a spaceship now, so they had to take the World Tree with them, right? I know they didn’t necessarily have a lot of time to pack…

    • So that whole “Bruce Banner may never come back” thing was a false alarm. Good, we need Bruce, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to design Hulkbuster 2.0! Just wait, Hasbro Build-A-Figure in development now.

    • How can we change Natasha’s hair this time? Make it blonde! Sold!

    • Okay, well if we direct our attention towards the Sanctum’s staircase, we can find the hole Bruce fell through, more likely as the Hulk. Probably explains why Tony’s there too. People have also pointed out he’s holding the phone Cap gave him, so good eye!

    • Spider-Sense! Yes!!!!!

    • People have pointed out that it looks like Strange, Banner, and Wong are all frozen in time, which at second glance it does look like that. They also stated that Tony’s immune because of the Arc Reactor, which we’ve seen defends against Infinity stones in the past (aka Loki’s performance issues). I mean, the Arc Reactor was based on Howard Stark’s research into the Tesseract, so that’s all well and good. My only problem with this theory is that this scene seems to take place moments after the scene in the Sanctum, where Strange is wearing the Eye of Agamotto, and the only way you can freeze time is with the Eye of Agamotto, so technically he shouldn’t be frozen, right? Curious, guess we’ll have to wait and see.

    • This is why I hate Loki! They just went through all that trouble saving all those Asgardians in Thor: Ragnarok, and because stupid Loki had to grab the stupid Tesseract, now they’re all dead. Way to go. As I said in my Ragnarok review, Thanos is just making good on his promise. The whole “No crevasse, no barren moon we can’t find you” deal. I can only imagine that if Ronan had made off with the Power Stone then we’d be seeing some star ways bathed in his blood.

    • Don’t know why people keep saying Thanos looks like Bruce Willis merged with a purple Homer Simpson, I think he looks cool.

    • Iron Spider! With light up eyes! OMG!!!! Some All-New, All-Different influence in there, I see you Marvel!

    • My friend suggested that looks like a giant forge, and Thor is rebuilding Mjolnir. I don’t think Thor should be going off on side quests in Avengers movies (again), but hey, if Thanos just wrecked what’s left of Asgard and threw me and Hulk across space, I’d want my all powerful magic hammer back too.

    • That’s Proxima Midnight. Hard to see, but it’s her. Throwing her stupid spear.

    • Yeah! Get Captain “Bum-Beard” America a shield!

    • Okay, that thing Black Panther is fighting is that four-armed creepy alien thing from the 2013 Infinity storyline, the one that creeped in on Black Bolt while he was sleeping. Don’t know why I specifically remember that, but I do. I think it’s called an Outrider. Aka Chitauri 2.0.

    • Poor Spider-Man!

    • That’s the foot, tattered cloak, and spear of Corvus Glaive. The one violently tearing the Mind Stone from Vision’s forehead. Poor Vison.

    • So, he’s already been to Xandar and Asgard. At least that’s what I gather from the Power and Space Stones in his gauntlet there.

    • Poor Iron Man. Homeboy just got flat laid out.

    • Sam says: Pew, pew all the Outriders!

    • Cap! Black Panther! War Machine (back on his feet)! Falcon! Black Widow! Winter Soldier! Okoye! The Hulk! And the full might of Wakanda! CHARGE!

    • If you didn’t cry when they played the Avengers theme at literally the perfect moment, it’s confirmed, you have no soul.

    • Hey! There’s the Guardians of the Galaxy!

    So that’s a lot to unpack! Kind of justifies why it took me this long, right? Right? Oh whatever, you try running a blog and living a life! Anyways, I’m excited, I can only assume you guys are excited, so let me know in the comments! Theories, Easter eggs, references, callbacks, anything! We’re all super fans here, so let’s talk. Alright guys, I’ll see in the multiverse!

    Avengers: Infinity War comes out May 4, 2018

  • The Revolution Will Be Live!

    Well hot dog! We’ve got a brand new Black Panther trailer, and I’m stoked! First off, these Black Panther trailers keep using fire tracks (you know you’re still shouting “step into the spotlight!”). Secondly, just take a look at this movie. It feels so different from anything that’s been before in the MCU. You’d think they’d be played out after 9 years, but that’s the wonderful thing about Marvel! There’s so many different characters, each unique and with their own backstories, so each new character presents us with, well, this!

    Let’s go over some bullet points:

    • T’Challa and Shuri is the sweetest brother/sister relationship. Just look at their little handshake there!

    • Klaue gets his claw! Complete with Vibranium energy blasts!

    • What the shock is Killmonger wearing?? It looks like the OG Marvel Knights Black Panther suit, what with the gold and all.

    • Wakanda looks lit AF.

    • Remember when Simba was talking to Mufasa in the stars? That tree with the panthers, and the purple sky, that reminds me of that. Maybe he’s talking to Baast?

    • Hasbro is totally gonna make a “Vibranium Powered Black Panther” action figure.

    This trailer is awesome, and I can’t wait! Black Panther comes out February 16, 2018 (Incidentally, Black History Month!).
